Eternal Engagement

First up . . . Eternal Engagement

Ever see that old Star Trek episode where Kirk, Bones and Spock are aging rapidly?

This is the complete opposite of that show.  Imagine you place The Who or Black Sabbath, circa 1970, in a time machine and send them to the future.  34 years into the future. Except when they arrive they find themselves younger not older!  That's Eternal Engagement.

Complete with guitar and drum solo's!

These kids had attitude and confidence. As if they have been playing for many years. Keep a watch out.

Second . . . Jimi Jive

I need extra Guinness for this one. I'm sitting at the bar when all of a sudden I'm transplanted into an Unholy Pentecostal Revival. Wearing their "Sunday Go To Meeting" duds (looks like they raided their grandmothers closet) Jimmy Jive unleashed a loud, noisy attack on the unsuspecting patrons.

It's a metal Velvet Underground!  Hey!  Where is Sister Ray?

But c'mon now . . . have some self-respect. That red guitar is clashing with your dress!

Third . . . Jester

So . . . I run into Sonny Barger on State Street. What the hell are you doing in Erie PA I ask?  Jester was his reply.  It was a long journey but it will be worth it he exclaims!

Hair, leather, tattoo's and Marshall's.

These guys sounded like a cross between Steppenwolf and a metal version of new wave rock from the late 70's early 80's. Perfect band for a biker rally and all day bear fest!
